How do I get past error code 10060?

[Breck_Carter]

The MobiLink 12 client is throwing this punctuation-challenged error message on the first synch each day, after less than a minute:

Log scan ended at offset 0002988998
Unable to connect a socket The system-specific error code is 10060 (hex 0000274c)
Unable to connect to MobiLink server

Does this happen with every remote? Is "the first synch of the day" equivalent to "the first after a reboot"? How long ago was the last synch that worked? Are you on a high latency network (e.g. poor cell network, satellite, VPN, or over the ocean)? What does the server see (turn on -vf to get first read network errors)?
